Chapter 678: Preparing to Return to Beijing
After reading the letter in his hand, Li Chengqian handed the letter to Yu Zhining, there was nothing in it that could not be seen, and there was no need to make Lao Yu feel that he did not trust him.
Yu Zhining saw the change in Li Chengqian's face before receiving the letter, and he had already made some preparations in his heart, but after the old guy saw the content inside, he was still angry and his beard was shaking. Of course, Li Chengqian understood this tremor as excitement, because the old guy saw the hope of going back.
"Xiaobai, inform them that they don't have to take down the things." Inadvertently, Li Chengqian caught a glimpse of Cheng Huaan and others directing people to lead horses and move things, so he ordered the white bat to go back and stop it.
If he doesn't want to be impeached and disobeys, Li Chengqian had better get back to the ship as soon as possible, and then rush to Chang'an as fast as he can. In this way, there is no need to move everything down, and even Cheng Huaan and they don't even have the need to get off the boat.
"Brother Prince, are we going back to Beijing?" Xiao Wu was eccentric, and after seeing that Li Chengqian had read the letter, he didn't let people move the west, so he reacted first, and asked excitedly with his little head.
"Yes, back to Beijing, right away." Li Chengqian lowered his head, twisted Xiao Wu's head in the direction of the boat, and then patted her shoulder: "Go back to the boat, you will leave in a while." ”
"Great!" Xiao Wu has been running outside with Li Chengqian for so long, he has long been bored and wants to go back to Chang'an, and now he can go back as soon as he hears it, and he jumps with excitement.
Even Lao Yu, who was standing on the side, was a little excited, and his face was full of red light, waiting for Li Chengqian to say: Master Yu, let's go!
However, many things backfired, and before Lao Yu's excitement had passed, he saw Li Chengqian recruit Yang Yuxin's little girl, and took out a stack of papers from the briefcase she was carrying: "Master Yu ......"
"This ......, what is this?" The expression on Yu Zhining's face slowly stiffened, and he was suddenly shrouded in an ominous premonition.
"The transformation map of the ships, I originally planned to stay in Quanzhou for a period of time, build these ships and renovate them, and add an auxiliary power system, but now it seems that it will not work, so I can only trouble the division to suffer more." A hint of apology flashed on Li Chengqian's face, and after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't you ...... I'll help you bring my sister back to Chang'an? After all, it's not a problem that there is no one to take care of it at home. ”
"Alas, forget it, let's let her stay, if His Royal Highness has the heart to bring my two children back to Chang'an, after all, they still have studies, and the delay is too long, I'm afraid they will be wasted." In the face of a scoundrel like Li Chengqian, what can Lao Yu say? Since getting on his thief ship, there seems to be no hope of going down.
Now I can only pray that I will not be transferred to the Ministry of Engineering when I go back in the future, except for this, everything else is left to fate, when can I go back...... I can only see when this young master can think of himself, or when His Majesty the Emperor can think of himself.
"It's okay, the master will stay and take care of the teacher, and I will arrange a few more guards for you, after all, this place is close to the sea, there are many pirates or something, and it is not very safe." As Li Chengqian spoke, he arranged for two 'fangs' combat squads to be transferred from the ship, and personally ordered them to obey Lao Yu's arrangement.
If you want the donkey to run, then you have to feed the donkey grass, and it is the same for Lao Yu, if you want Lao Yu to work, then you have to give Lao Yu a little benefit, so that Lao Yu has a feeling of being valued.
Li Chengqian has known this kind of method of winning people's hearts for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to use it, and now he has 'caught' Lao Yu and tried it on him.
Sure enough, after arranging the two combat squads of 'Fang' to Lao Yu as a guard, Lao Yu's face eased a lot, after all, he must be the first minister in the Tang Dynasty to enjoy the 'Fang' escort in addition to the royal family, and he can blow it when he goes back.
After tossing and turning, Yu Zhining finally accepted his fate, and arranged for the shipyard to go back to his house to pick up his two sons, and he seriously turned over the transformation drawings given to him by Li Chengqian.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what is this?" After looking at it for a long time, Yu Zhining took out a drawing with a propeller and handed it to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian received it in his hand, glanced at it and said: "This is called a propeller, and after it rotates, it can push the water flow to achieve the purpose of making the boat walk, but the power of this is very small, and it cannot make the ship have a fast speed." ”
"Propellers, do they turn?" Yu Zhining listened carefully to Li Chengqian's explanation, and then asked tentatively.
"Yes, it will turn." Li Chengqian took advantage of the time when Lao Yu's son had not arrived, found a useless piece of paper, simply folded a small windmill that modern children often play with, and then used the small windmill to make a demonstration for Lao Yu.
Watching the little windmill turn, the smoke from the freshly lit firewood was blown in different directions, and a trace of abruptness flashed on Lao Yu's face.
When Lao Yu had no problem, Li Chengqian chatted with him about the situation in Quanzhou for a while, focusing on asking Lao Yu if there were any difficulties in Quanzhou, whether he still needed manpower or something, until Lao Yu's wife came over with his two sons: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Lao Yu's two sons and Li Chengqian have also known each other for a long time, and there are many people in Chang'an City who are fooling around, but now that the old man is on the side, no matter how bold the two boys are, they don't dare to shout in front of Lao Yu: Brother Gao Mingxian.
However, the appearance of the two boys squeezing their eyebrows still attracted Lao Yu's attention, and after one person had a brain, the two of them were more honest.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the dog is stubborn, and His Royal Highness will have to bother a lot in the future to help take care of one or two." No matter what time it is, being a mother is the same, and seeing that her son is about to leave her side, she always feels a little uneasy, although Mrs. Yu knows that her two boys are actually very familiar with Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian ignored the Yu family brothers with a bitter gourd face, first gave a disciple gift to his wife, and then said: "Master don't worry, you can save it." ”
"Okay, okay, what is there to worry about handing over these two rebels to His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not too early, let's let His Highness hurry up and board the ship." Lao Yu couldn't stand this feeling of family separation, so he gritted his teeth and persuaded his wife to go aside.
"Master Yu, Master Niang, Gao Ming will say goodbye, he will be in Chang'an City every day, and he will make amends for the two of you!" Li Chengqian hugged his fists at Yu Zhining and his wife, and then took the two Yu brothers to turn around and walk towards the boat.
What should be said has been said, and it is not interesting to grind it any further, on the contrary, it makes the old couple feel more uncomfortable, it is better to leave early, so that the old couple is out of sight and out of mind.
Of course, Li Chengqian's main reason for leaving in such a hurry was not because of Lao Yu and his wife, he just looked at Lao Yu and his wife and remembered his parents in the later life.
With the fusion of the souls of his two lives, the faces of his parents in later generations are becoming clearer and clearer, and some things that have been forgotten before will be remembered from time to time, which makes Li Chengqian miss 'home' more and more.
